SEIU Arizona, moveon.org, and Saul Alinsky: A Huffington Post Experience


Tonight I was reading an article on Huffington Post about how SEIU plans to boycott Arizona.

I first thanked God for this wonderful blessing, then kept reading...

In the discussion, someone mentioned their wish for California to act in similar fashion to Arizona, saying;

SEIU boycott??? That sounds good to me. Hopefully, California will adopt the same policies soon. Whatever it takes to rid the state of these thugs."

To which a leftist replied;

Rid the states of the majority of people?

Well, that certainly intrigued me. Exactly how many people are members of America's number one thug organization, I wondered?

According to their website, SEIU employs 2.2 million people across The United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Ah, yes.. a majority.

Anyway, I decided to look specifically into SEIU in Arizona.

Being a 'Right to Work' state, we do not have a large union presence. Only certain industries seem to accommodate the thugs people who wish to beat down organize employees, and although they are not a large presence here, government workers and the service industry seems to be threatened intimidated willing to cooperate.

So I found SEIU Arizona, which was also the first time I noticed that SEIU uses .org web presence. I don't know everything, but I thought there were at least some sort of ethical reasons to use... oh, never mind.

So SEIU Arizona has a Facebook page... oh, goody! I went to that page, and found all kinds of interesting hate for our new law, as well as a link to some website called CNNBC, which hosted this incredibly ridiculous video produced by our good friends at moveon.org:




Now honestly, I'm beginning to really enjoy the parody videos of the right, and specifically the ones made about Glenn Beck.

I suppose I've come to enjoy them most because they display with such great effect that whatever the left can not discredit, they will attempt to marginalize with mockery, as any good Alinskyite should.

I also enjoy these videos and other attempts at mockery because I have learned that if that's the best they've got... well, it's going to be a great November.

Instead of the Left refuting the facts or ideas, they use mockery or the false charge of racism to attack the right.

They ain't got nothin on us conservatives. I think November is going to be good for conservatism.

This is simply sauce for the Democratic goose that will be cooked in November.

Teresa -

true that... something we know far too well individually, from the visits we get from looney leftists upon occasion too.

I saw Jay Leno at Correspondent Dinner his best line was; “That was my favorite story (this year) Republicans and a Lesbian bondage club. It’s ironic, Republicans don’t want lesbian getting married but they do like watching them “tie the knot”. So I thought that was interesting.”

You can say the same about Tea Party (they are haters not debaters or as others have dubbed them screamers not dreamers), they say they respect the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence but they do not mind passing laws, through weak Governors (no one voted for this crazy) who only care about getting reelected on the backs of undocumented workers, that will not pass Constitution muster, just like Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago and your MLK Day ban, keep passing them Arizona and the rest of us will continue to challenged them in a court of law and you will fail again (and yes we will Boycott Arizona). Their phony patriotism is sickening; they are just racists going by another name. We all know you are just itching to put a sheet on their head? Let’s face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with health care, immigration, climate change and financial oversight and governance and they failed. It appears that the Republican Party is only good at starting wars (two in eight years, with fat contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the continuing line of body bags that keep coming home. The Republicans party will continue turned inward to their old fashion obstructionist party (and their Confederacy appreciation roots) because they continue to allow a small portions (but very loud portion) of their party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” to rule their party. I will admit that this fringe is very good at playing “Follow the Leader” by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill programmed robots (they have already acted against doctors that perform abortions). The Birthers and the Tea party crowd think they can scare, intimidate and force others to go along with them by comments like “This time we came unarmed”, let me tell you something not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and understand that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. The world is complicated and people like Hamilton, Lincoln, and Roosevelt believed that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now it’s about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. For a party that gave us Abraham Lincoln, it is tragic that the ranks are filled with too many empty suits and the crazy Birthers who have not learned that the way our courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked internet lies, then, and only then, do you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called “facts”. Let’s face it no one will take the Birthers seriously until they win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three. I heard that Orly Taitz now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC), she wants to re-establish a family values party, that’s like saying that the Catholic Church cares about the welling being of children in their care, too late for that. Yee Haw!

Montana -

I have no issue with gays or lesbians getting married. I really don't think it's an issue that states need to deal with, since marriage is a Church institution. Civil unions serve the same basic purpose, but whatever.

Thanks for playing.
